Mine sat at the port for several days before showing up in "Auto cargo" tracking. It first showed up this morning, although the tracking said:

RECEIVED AT TERMINAL SOUTHAMPTON 02/04/2007 11:37
BOOKED SOUTHAMPTON 30/03/2007 09:51

So, it was booked back on the 30th, but didn't show up online until the 2nd.

At least on its most recent voyage, Otello is an east coast ship. WW cargo tracking says my MINI was discharged from it at 18:00 yesterday at the port of NY/NJ, not far from the home of two outstanding opera companies and an undetermined but large number of serious characters.

But Integrity sounds like a good name, too.

Hope that your car had a great trip on Otello and gets to you very quickly. I now have a vested interest in how well and quickly the VDC in NJ gets things done. Looking forward to seeing pics of your car.

Congrats. Here's to smooth sailing.

Where does it have to go after it has surfed the tubes at Hueneme?

My baby is booked on Maersk Wave too. I ordered from Crevier Mini. So I guess they'll share the journey. Where did find out about the 4/24 infor?

I found the ship location information through this web site: http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/index.html.

There are a lot of ships named Integrity, but I believe that ours has a callsign of WDC6925. It only updates when (and if) the captain submits his weather observations.

Looks like the MAERSK WAVE has left Southampton.

Oops, that was an old page. Hopefully, they will have an update when it does depart. You can track it by its call sign: S6TV

My mistake. It seems that was from its arrival at Southampton on March 19. I've edited my previous post with info on how to track it.

Well i got upgraded to "loaded on vessel" All my friends thought they had a tight circle of car guys, then i told them how we have guys on our board tracking these Mini's like its bin laden himself from order to production to delivery. They were just amazed that as a mini customer we have a lot more involvement with the build process and how much we are able to tailor our cars to our needs.

That's good because it seems that the MAERSK WAVE in the English Channel.
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...html?call=S6TV

I hope mine made it aboard. WW tracking still just shows mine as booked MAERSK WAVE 30 and received at the port.

RECEIVED AT TERMINAL - SOUTHAMPTON - 02/04/2007 11:37
BOOKED - SOUTHAMPTON - 30/03/2007 - 09:51

Devious, what time was your MINI received at the terminal?
